 This function requires both the GD library and the » FreeType library.

You must be missing one or both of the required libraries in your PHP build.

build file 'info.php' with this code:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

run it and see which are missing, then go and install it/them.

To use the function "imagettfbbox" one must have both GD and FreeType. It seems, given the error one of those is missing.

Once they are both available the function should work.
